I let it "roll of my shell"...LOL.<BR/><BR/>Turtle KingThe Turtle Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02891073149305659202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2822681319258093183.post-77073907637353264162007-10-01T18:15:00.000-07:002007-10-01T18:15:00.000-07:00I agree with the idea of having a thick skin.

Although sometimes these idiotic bosses get what they give and are canned. If you work at a good company, the destructive boss won't last long. If you work at a crappy company that doesn't care about employees, update the resume and get out asap. THanks again for your comment.<BR/><BR/>Turtle KingThe Turtle Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02891073149305659202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2822681319258093183.post-88018079497300983252007-09-26T16:37:00.000-07:002007-09-26T16:37:00.000-07:00Great post.

When you realize that you are not your job, it sets you free from that. You will be you whether you are a middle-manager, a garbage man, or even homeless. You are the same person. <BR/><BR/>This jerk’s opinions or “criticism” doesn’t mean anything in the long run. This is what I remind myself when I’m put in situations like that.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention, “constructive criticism” that doesn’t help but just makes you feel bad is a sure sign of a toxic working environment, and time to haul ass outta there, before it affects your health or you are demoralized too much to feel you can find a job elsewhere. Because really, there will always be a job elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
